Question

26. In a school , enrollment increased from 870
students in 2016 to 1250 students in 2017. What is
the percentage increase in enrollment ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage increase in enrollment = 43.68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students enrolled in 2016 was 870

Number of students enrolled in 2017 was 1250

Total increase in enrollment = (1250 - 870) = 380

For 870 enrollment in 2016, increase = 380

For each enrollment in 2016, increase $= \frac{380}{870}$

For each 100 enrollment in 2016, increase is $\frac{38}{87} . 100 = 43.68$

∴ the percentage increase in enrollment = 43.68%
